E. Scenario Viewpoint
This diagram illustrates the relationship between a BusinessScenario and a ServiceDomain.
BIAN does not provide a metamodel for modeling business scenarios. Instead, it allows any approach to be used to model a business scenario as long as the scenario can be accessed via a URI. The metamodel provides only a stub scenario element (i.e. BusinessScenario) that is merely a container for the scenario's URI and a hook for metadata that records which ServiceDomains are involved in the BusinessScenario.
BIAN does not publish business scenarios as canonical standards. It models business scenarios in order to discover, validate, and explain the canonical definitions of ServiceDomains and their elements. But the scenarios themselves are not canonical, because a bank that uses BIAN must have flexibility in how it combines the ServiceDomains to execute its business.
Class BusinessScenario
package BIAN::Level1
A BusinessScenario points, via a URI, to a model of a collaboration among ServiceDomains.
Comment
In practice, BIAN will define business scenarios with various tools, and post each scenario to a dedicated web page that can be accessed via the corresponding BusinessScenario element's URI.
